Black and white photograph of a crowd watching a wire walker perform under streamers on Main Street. An awning advertises F.E. Gieseker, Machinery, Carriages & Wagons. Above a paper sign advertises a dance hall. Up the street a sign advertises Frees Bros. A store front is labeled Meat Market and a street sign advertises Baths. The spectators are dressed in fine clothes: the women in fancy skirts and blouses and ornate hats and the men in suits and fine hats. Enclosed arc lamps hang over the street.
